Determine Whether LLDP is Running and Recognizing Peers

In a correct DCB configuration, LLDP must be running and recognizing peers. If LLDP does not show the neighbors for port 21, perform the following steps to determine whether the peers are configured correctly and both links are up.

  1. Display the DCB administrative, operational, and peer configurations.

    SEFOS# show interfaces extreme-ethernet 0/21 dcb priority-flow-control detail
    SEFOS# show interfaces extreme-ethernet 0/21 dcb application-etype-fcoe detail
    SEFOS# show interfaces extreme-ethernet 0/21 dcb counters

    In the following steps, DCB features are exchanged, and DCB is in operating mode with its peer.

  2. Ensure that the interface is up on a specified port (port 0/21, in this example).
